Violin Labeled Geo. S. Conway – Newark, 1922
This full-size violin bears a label reading Geo. S. Conway, Newark, 1922. While little is widely documented about Conway as a maker, this instrument appears to be the work of a regional American luthier or possibly a rebranded workshop violin, typical of early 20th-century U.S. violin trade practices.
The violin features a two-piece maple back with mild flame, a fine-grained spruce top, and a warm, golden-brown varnish that has aged gracefully. Tonally, it offers a clear, ringing voice with a focused core and responsive playability—well-suited for advancing students or players looking for a vintage American instrument with personality and charm.
A characterful early 20th-century violin with appealing tone and an intriguing, if not fully documented, provenance.
